There is new Rock and Roll Repeat merch for Saviors. Really want the Bobby Sox shirt but $40 for a t-shirt (without shipping) is insane.

I love Jake Bugg, so I'm very pleased to hear that he appreciates GD too! 😂 I'm really looking forward to his new album.

I've put this in the Green Day Tweets thread but thought it perhaps belonged in here too

Green Day gets to Milwaukee early, enjoys Lakefront Brewery fish fry

Lakefront's own resident punk rock musician and aficionado Andy Junk (aka the brewery's Export Manager Andy Jungwirth) posted the above photo with frontman Billie Joe Armstrong on Facebook.

"I was on my way out the door at Lakefront and some coworkers flagged me down and were like, Is that Green Day?'," Jungwirth posted, noting that the band was enjoying the beer hall's beloved fish fry, a little after 5 p.m. Friday, at the brewery, 1872 N. Commerce St.

"I immediately went into the fact that I flew to Berkeley to see a Pinhead Gunpowder reunion show (referring to a band Armstrong is in). He asked 'At Gilman Street?' and I said 'No, at Starry Plough in 2000.' and just left him alone to enjoy dinner."

This Green Day's Overlooked B-Side Could Easily Be One of the Band's Greatest Songs: Here's Why

With the 20th anniversary of Green Day's iconic "American Idiot" album fast approaching, they've started putting out some new tracks to celebrate. While we'll have a lot of coverage of that album closer to the big day, one of the recent releases warrants some discussion here on Ultimate Guitar.

"Favorite Son" was the first unreleased track to be unveiled, though many of us are still awaiting new releases of "Governator," "Shoplifter," and "Too Much Too Soon." What makes "Favorite Son" so distinct, though, is how thoroughly punk and seemingly outside of the "American Idiot" storyline it is. You can easily see why the band opted to take it off the album, as the title track kind of serves this purpose as the bombastic barn burner. But that unfortunate decision will luckily no longer prevent most of us from enjoying this tune any longer.

Green Day will be playing Dookie and American Idiot in Jakarta, according to the promoters. They also said: “It was actually quite difficult to invite them. The process took quite a long time, I even had to come to LA, I was invited there.”

Interesting that it says Green Day will be playing Dookie and American Idiot at this show too

Last Night On Earth had a daily peak on spotify, which is so interesting to me. Yesterday it had 134,881 streams, currently at 77,250,264 in total. Daily streams superior than any single on 21st Century Breakdown (except for 21 Guns), Warning, Revolution Radio, Trilogy and Saviors.

Interesting how algorithm works.

Glad to see that song getting love and attention but I wonder why it has, it's not like it's getting played on tour or has shown up in a movie or something.

Boulevard would have like 2 billion if not for Spotify’s dumb sorting and combining of songs.

I love Billie standing up for their entire disocraphy when it's mentioned that people thought Green Day were "past their prime" back in the day.   "They were wrong"   - and then he and Tre talk about the measure of success.   You sell 10 million and then 5 million looks bad.   Let it be known, Green Day don't have any albums that were massive failures and here's some positive facts about their most hated albums:  Uno deputed at #2 on billboard.  Dos came in at #9 on billboard and got the highest average reviews of the Trilogy.  Tre got generally positive review from critics, deputed at #13 at X-Kid reached #36 in the charts.  and FOAM - its debuted at #4, it's their 11th top 10 album and again, and as today it's streaming numbers are over 140 Millionish.  Even Green Day's lows are making millions.  

Hype for UNO was huge amongst fans. Still holds a place in my heart just for the nostalgia factor and marketing.
